Safe routes save lives. From the #Kindertransport to today, history shows that when protection is closed off, harm follows.

#AtrocityPrevention must start before people are forced into danger.

Trump is undermining his own law that prevents mass atrocities The Trump administration should have submitted its Elie Wiesel Act annual report to Congress by July 15 — this didn’t happen.

The Trump Administration is ignoring the Elie Wiesel Genocide and Atrocity Prevention Act. What will Congress do about it? Op-ed by @wesrist.bsky.social and I in @thehill.com: thehill.com/opinion/civi... #atrocityprevention #humanrights

🏛️ Despite #conflict rates at record-breaking levels, the U.S. gov't has decimated its #AtrocityPrevention staff/programs & failed to submit the required report to Congress.

Read the report drafted by former U.S. gov't officials & call on the Hill to hold the #POTUS to account:
➡️ t.ly/APShadowReport

The Trump Administration ignored Congress & didn’t submit the #ElieWieselAct Report. So former USG officials wrote one. Congress must hold the Administration accountable for not following the law & the #atrocities that will undoubtedly occur. #AtrocityPrevention Read the report t.ly/APShadowReport
